Festo CR Series Flow Controller, 6mm Tube Inlet Port

The Festo CRGRLA-1/4-B is a basic flow-control valve used to control airflow in pneumatic systems. It is commonly installed to adjust cylinder speed by restricting air flow in one direction. This makes it useful in automation setups where controlled movement matters more than raw speed. It is designed for everyday industrial use and fits cleanly into standard pneumatic lines without complicated setup.

Unmatched Advantages of Buying the Festo 161405 Flow Controller Valve 6mm Tube

This valve allows you to fine-tune the airflow to or from a pneumatic actuator. By adjusting the flow rate, you can slow or stabilise cylinder movement, helping reduce shock, vibration, and wear.

• Controls air flow in pneumatic circuits.
• Helps regulate actuator speed.
• Supports smoother and safer motion.
• Typically installed close to the cylinder for better control.

Connection Size and Physical Setup

The CRGRLA-1/4-B uses a 6 mm tube inlet port and a 1/4-inch threaded connection. This makes it compatible with many standard pneumatic fittings and tubing used in industrial automation. The compact body allows it to fit into tight control panels or machine frames with limited space. Once installed, adjustment is straightforward and does not require special tools.

Product Use Cases

It is often used in production environments where controlled movement improves consistency and reduces mechanical stress.

• Pneumatic cylinders
• Assembly and packaging machines
• Automation and control panels
• Air handling and motion control systems
